- This character is a deceased NPC, that was created by Lanara.*
Name: Natianara Selene Ryder
Race: Kelvarian Half Elf
Class: Shapeshifting Witch
Age: Deceased
Appearance: Although she’s a half elf, the woman can easily pass for a human, as her ears aren’t the slightest bit pointed. Her ancestry hails from Kelvar, and so her pretty face often causes heads to turn, though she pales in comparison when standing beside her mother or aunt. Standing 5'7" tall, weighing approximately one hundred and forty pounds, light skinned, and having slight curves, one could say that her long legs are her best physical trait. Her face is usually bare of any makeup, save for the occasional gloss applied to her full lips, which are often curved into a shy smile, showcasing her straight ivory teeth. Piercing, arctic blue eyes enhance the length of her dark lashes, and neatly plucked eyebrows. Straight, silken hair falls to her elbows, the color being that of a dark brown; though in the sunlight one can see naturally highlighted strands of tanned honey. There aren’t any blemishes, tattoos, or piercings to comment upon, though she wears a pentacle proudly around her neck, not the least bit shamed about her craft. As for attire, she dresses casual, in whatever is comfortable, though she cleans up rather nice at formal affairs.
Family:
Thronnel Banks – Grandfather – A crazed mage that formed an unhealthy obsession with his daughters, before facing an untimely demise at the hands of Eirik.
Kuruni Isilme– Grandmother – A lovely witch that hailed from Kelvar and gave birth to Lanara and Talyara. Unfortunately, the drow invaded and she died defending her homeland. (NPC)
Sharna Banks – Great Aunt – A witch that couldn’t stand to watch her brother murder an infant, and so she begged Thronnel to allow her to raise Natianara. In her later years, she was captured while in Larket, and faced brutality for practicing her craft. (NPC)
Lanara Banks – Mother- A beautiful woodland witch with a legendary derriere, who had a mental breakdown and is forever institutionalized away from the lands.
Desparrow Ryder – Father – A homicidal lycan that has been missing for nearly a decade, as he hopes to escape the ramifications of his crimes committed in Cenril.
Talyara Isilme – Aunt – A sweet witch who has seen her fair share of horrors, yet still begins each day with a smile upon her pretty face. Taly welcomed her niece to the lands with open arms and has been tutoring Nat in advanced witchcraft.
Scandal Scrathulclaw – Uncle – A red and black dragon that had grown quite close to Taly and Lana over the years, and as such, they made it legally binding! Nat refers to him as her true ‘uncle’ despite the fact that they aren’t biologically related.
Bachias Isilme – Cousin – An immortal, agoraphobic, albino child that Talyara had been coaxed into adopting several years ago. Despite his disgusting mannerisms, Natianara seems to adore the boy and often takes him on adventures. (NPC)
Abilities:
Being that Natianara’s mother was a woodland witch and her father was a lycan spellblade, it’s rather mindboggling as to how their chemistry formed such a unique daughter. Lana’s animal empathy suppressed the bestial nature of Desparrow’s lycanthropy, and so rather than be a creature of the night, Natianara is a daughter of the moon with the gift of shapeshifting. She can communicate with all types of canines and sometimes command them to do her bidding.
Shapeshifting – Her most powerful ability is that of being able to change skins and shift into an animal of her choosing. The most adopted forms are that of a wolf, a raven, or a dolphin, so that she can traverse the sky, sea, and earth, depending on her intentions. On rare occasion she will shift into the form of a pegasus, so that she can fly another upon her back a great distance, though the energy that’s used is rather taxing. If in the wolf form, she’s able to camouflage somewhat to her environment, which makes blending in much easier. She will be black if traveling by night, white if traversing in the snow, and the traditional gray wolf when roaming through the forest, however her eyes remain blue, regardless of what form she takes. Should she be a wolf, raven, dolphin, or winged horse, she also has access to their unique characteristics, such as enhanced vision, hearing, strength, and speed.
Witchcraft - Although she is a witch, she doesn’t possess any magical abilities, save for those that are associated with shapeshifting. It’s easy to say she’s more of a druid than an arcane user, as she asks for the Goddess to assists in all areas of her craft, and most of the time the result is favorable, depending on the situation. She can brew potions and poisons, follow her intuition, read palms and tarot cards, and she’s skilled at interpreting dreams and meditating. If someone wishes to remove a hex or break a curse, she can also assist with that, though there’s never any guarantee, as she doesn’t have magic flowing through her veins like others in the land. It’s all about putting positivity energy into the universe and having a strong belief system.
Combat – Being a half elf with zero magic to speak of, one would think she’d likely to be a damsel in distress, though that couldn’t be further from the truth! Her father was a lycan, and although she can’t shift into a hybrid form, she is stronger than your average woman and can pack quite a punch. She’s quick on her feet, has enhanced hearing and sense of smell, and she heals in triple the time than that of a human. Natianara took self-defense classes before venturing to the lands, and should she have no other options, she will resort to violence. However, those that know the witch know that she will run at the first sign of danger, or shift into one of her other forms to avoid having to wound another.
